Continuing on the build of the hurricane candle bases, today I'm routing the edge profile with a rather large bit, considering the size of these discs. There's also a little lesson about router slippage!
Continuing on the build of the hurricane candle bases, today I'm laying out and drilling for three wooden "feet", directly over a large router profile, which is creating a rather "tippy" foundation.
This was supposed to be the mid-week follow-up to last weekend's video on routing the edges of small circles. If you missed it, be sure to catch it here: https://youtu.be/zPKVNuLsb6g
The "Joint-Matic" was a stand-alone router-based tool that was produced by Shopsmith in the 90's. It was a reimagining of an earlier, expensive, and frankly overbuilt tool known as the "Strong Designs Joint-Matic", and was criminally overlooked by non-Shopsmith woodworkers who assumed that it must be a toy. Boy, were they wrong. This is the first of a short series of videos on this versatile tool and there's lots more to come, including how to use it to make a complete raised panel door. Is it as versatile as Matthias Wandel's Pantorouter? Nope. But then again you don't have to build it or pay $1000+ for it!

The Shopsmith Mark 4 is a new stripped-down 4-in-One multipurpose machine that can be used as starting point for Shopsmith woodworking for those who want to start with a factory-fresh and fully warrantied tool.
Joining me for this follow-up Q&A for the Shopsmith Mark 4 introduction video is Youtuber Tom, from Woodshop Nerdery. If you aren't yet subscribed to Tom, it's time to remedy that situation! Click here: https://www.youtube.com/c/woodshopner...

Great episode and great crossover with the Nerdery show. Throughout the video I was in solid agreement with at least one of you all the time. I was not surprised to hear about so many professionals enjoying woodworking and the appeal of a Shopsmith to them, I have met so many of them over the years. Coming out of the systems software world the polymorphic functionality of the Shopsmith had great appeal to me, maybe others felt the same, or also like me simply thought they were cool.
I don't know that these guys sold a lot of Mark 4's in that video but I was worried that Scott advertising the Power Station (etc.) caster sets on sale might cause a run on them. IIUC these are the same as M5 casters plus adapter plates, someone that knows please confirm. And they are somewhat less pricey than standard M5 casters, which are also on sale but at a higher price. (Makes no sense if the caster assemblies are the same, but...)
